2015 had been a very significant
year in my lifetime. Maybe because it’s the year I entered the quarter life and
had been through the quarter life crisis, I must admit. This post may seem very
personal but I still want to put this on the record as the past year has taught
me almost everything I need to know in love, family, business and happiness.
Family (Really) Matters
Yeah, you read it right. We all
know how important family is in our life. But sometimes, we tend to disregard
their value. Surely not because we do not want them around but because we think
we can manage. Or maybe, we think we can do everything all alone.
Their opinions can really be a
pain in the ass but we must acknowledge the fact that those are valid opinions.
Yes, the best advice and opinions in the world would come from your father,
mother, aunts, and uncle and even from your cousins.
You think you know everything but
trust me, you don’t.
It’s Okay to Get Confused
There will always be a point in
your life when you will think if you are on the right path. A point in life
when you will think about what you really want to do and what will make you
happy. The answers may not come in as easy as ABC but it’s okay. Go on with your
life and persistently wait for the time when you will realize the things you
want, you need and the things that you must let go.
Realizations will come in bits
and pieces, so do not worry. It’s okay to get confused at times.
Take Risks
So when you get confused, you
will stumble to thoughts you never thought you could think about. There will be
pros and cons. There will be ‘what ifs’. It’s fine. Take the risk. If you fail,
if you lose, at least you won’t have to think ‘what if I made a different
choice.’
The risks can be so frightening
but after surviving all of it, you will only come out stronger.
Do not regret your decisions, learn from them
While I was torn between choices,
a good friend of mine told me to make a smart decision. After everything that
happened, a smart decision is out of the question. I do not know what a smart
decision is anymore and I have been honest with the circumstances.
My friend told me to think of
what’s best for me, make a decision, stick with it and DO NOT REGRET. He got a
strong and valid point, right?
So there, to sum it up, I got a very rough and tough 2015
that made me so ready for whatever is coming this 2016.
Have a great 2016 everyone!
